RIP Pete Rose

Pete Rose's career is a testament to how bad baseball executives used to be. Dude hit .245 with 0 homers, and 17 XBH in 555 plate appearances and an OPS of like .602 in his age 42 season. He was washed. And he got 3 MORE SEASONS after that. Wild.
In his age 39 season, he won a title with the Phillies in a season where he played all 162 games, hit 1 homer, and had 42 doubles. No one puts up numbers that skewed away from power hitting anymore.
Dude's major league career predated the Beatles appearance on Ed Sullivan, and outlasted Zeppelin and good Pink Floyd.

As far as I'm concerned, Pete Rise was the only reason to be a Phillies fan unless you lived there and didn't know anything else.
